Dictionary of Artists

 

To meet the requirement of scholars, art dealers, collectors or simple amateurs of having a quick and effective tool at their disposal to satisfy the various exigencies connected with the world of art, first of all the in-depth analysis of the work of painters, sculptors, engravers, photographers, etc., the "Dictionary of artists" puts itself up as an annotated list of names, sometimes accompanied, if marked by an asterisk, by a biography and by some signature examples.

Each artist is matched with a series of index cards regarding the works registered in the Data Bank of the Matteucci Institute, which can be issued on request.

The biographies are taken from the Dizionario degli artisti edited by Cristina Bonagura, integral part of the work Pittori & pittura dell'Ottocento italiano (1996-1997), coordinated by Giuliano Matteucci with the cooperation of Paul Nicholls and realized by the Redazioni Grandi Opere of the "Istituto Geografico De Agostini", to whom the Matteucci Institute expresses its sincere thanks for authorizing the circulation of the texts on line.

 

Pletti Luigi*

PLETTI LUIGI
Udine 1820 -1889
Frequentò dal 1839 al 1844 l’Accademia di Venezia, dove seguì i corsi di M. Grigoletti; soggiornò successivamente in Francia, per ritornare a Udine verso il 1850. Fu noto come ritrattista (Ritratto del numismatico Cigoi, Udine, Museo Civico) e pittore di pale d’altare (San Domenico, chiesa di san Martino, Artegna). Le sue opere furono caratterizzate da un solido impianto disegnativo e da una materia pittorica spessa e densa, che andò disgregandosi nella fase tarda, forse per influsso di T. Cremona e D. Ranzoni.
